Pervez musharraf, Pakistan's presi-dent, this week let it be known that he would like to stay in power even after his current term expires in 2007. Supporters of the general, who seized power in a bloodless coup in 1999, have long been campaigning for this outcome. They present their man, who preaches a gospel of "enlightened moderation", as a bulwark against Islamic extremism-whose rise, in this traditionally moderate Muslim nation, gives America nightmares.
